This document discusses proposals for a canal through Thailand. It aims to promote economic growth, accommodate larger vessels, reduce sailing times, and provide a safer alternative route to the Malacca Strait. The document examines Thailand's economy, geology, topography, social issues, and proposes 4 options for the canal: a canal with ports, overland container transport, a canal and overland transport combined, and an oil pipeline. It concludes by looking ahead to further research on background, objectives, solutions, detailed designs, forecasts, and final recommendations.
